Chris in CA Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I start school today. I don't know why, but I feel sick I hate that I'll be away from the girls, the homework, the pressure, the drive, parking, etc. I don't even know if the professor will let me in the class, I need to petition - but I need to get in this class, because I need to go to school after 4pm - I don't have the luxury of taking day classes. This has been a family decision, I'm going back to get my MA so I can teach p/t while still homeschooling the girls. I want this, dh wants this, dds support me. But as I sit by the pool looking at them playing and watching the clock, because I have to leave in 1/2 hour, my stomach hurts..... We don't start homeschooling till after Labor Day, I wish my school started after theirs, maybe I'm mourning the end of summer - where did it go? Sigh- thanks for listening to my whine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 It'll be fine. You'll have the worst part over in just a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 :grouphug:. I'm sorry. Hopefully you'll get a nice professor that lets you in the class w/o any issues. Let us know how it goes, okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Yes, please let us know how it goes. You were on my mind this morning...still praying you get into those classes. Ick, I remember the anxiety I used to get when thinking about parking. Pray for God to give you a parking space. I always feel silly, but the kids and I always pray for a parking space in a crowded lot and then we get all excited when He gives us one. :) :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriedClams Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hang in there - it stinks but it will improve! We're all here for you! And if you are reading this later - did you get the class??? I hope it all works out for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yes, all those things are true. But, think of all the great stuff that comes with going back to college: getting together with other adults to have intellectual adult conversations, the smell of a university library, the thrill of an awesome grade on a paper you worked so hard for, etc. I am working on my doctorate right now and it seems like a long haul so I have to focus on the positive or I'll go nuts!

keroro Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 It sounds like your family is very supportive and you are very determined. I am sure your academic endeavor will be a success. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaNY Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 (((Chris))) I'm sure it will all be fine. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom to Aly Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I know you're nervous now, but in no time you will be on your way--an MA, how exciting! You will love it! It is so much easier than all the tedium of a BA--so much shorter, you are studying what you love, it will fly by in comparison, and you and your dc can sit together and do homework, side by side (and complain together!! :) ). I think you are so brave to do this while homeschooling! I have 2 BA's, 2 MA's, and part of my phd, all done before my dd, while I was working full time, and I honestly don't think I could take a sewing class and survive now! I admire your courage and strength, and know you will come out shining! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in CA Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 I feel like such a ninny, it went fine. The professor was great, no problem took me in and the class was fun. Thanks so much for the prayers, and Monica I found a parking space in record time - THANKS - I know it was your prayers. So, one down, two to go... ...

I'm so glad things went well today! I have thought about getting my MA - not the right season in life now. But maybe one day. ;) I truly admire you for doing that AND homeschooling AND everything else we ladies have to do ~ wow! Blessings to you.
